Read by consummate Shakespearean actor Jonathan Epstein, Moby Dick is a revelation. Jonny reads this epic tale as if performing Shakespeare, embodying each and every character with precision and grace, the intensity and scope of the story narrated with an innate understanding of its humor, nuance, madness and love. As one who had the honor of writing in Melville’s chair, looking at the mountain that inspired this bit of literary genius, I envy the hours of pleasure that await you. ~ Jana Laiz, Writer-In-Residence Emeritus, Herman Melville’sArrowhead
_Jonathan Epstein (Narrator) Jonny has directed or acted in more than 60 Shakespeare & Company productions since 1987 including Creditors, Henry V, Merchant of Venice, Tempest, Cymbeline, Midsummer, Merry Wives, Private Eyes, Brief Lives, Heroes, An Iliad and the title roles in King Lear, Henry IV, Richard III and Macbeth. In 1990 he created the role of The Men in Tina Packer’s original Women of Will. He has performed on and off-Broadway and at scores of regional theatres around the country including Berkshire Theatre Festival (Amadeus, Cuckoo’s Nest, Via Dolorosa, Educating Rita…) and ART (Merchant of Venice, Phaedra, Paradise Lost). He is a two-time recipient of the Elliot Norton Award and is Teaching Professor of Classical Performance at the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training where this year he adapted and directed their hybrid video production of Caesar. Jonny and his wife Ariel Bock met onstage during The Aspern Papers (1991)._ Posted on May 1, 2021May 1, 2021 ARROWHEAD OPENING MAY 15 We are happy to announce the opening of Arrowhead, Saturday, May 15!
